Solon Wants To Raise Seatbelt Fine
Adults caught in a car without their seatbelts on in Idaho could see their costs rise five-fold. Rep. Rich Wills, a Glenns Ferry Republican, introduced a bill Thursday to add court costs of $41.50 to the existing $10 fine levied on adults who don’t buckle up. Juveniles caught without seatbelts already pay $51.50, including the court costs. Wills says it’s only fair for adults to pay the same as those under 18/Associated Press. More here.

Question: How long do you think it'll be before Idaho fines for failing to buckle up is as bad as those in Washington? Do you support an increase in the seatbelt fine?
